Using the MEASure? Query
The following example configures DC voltage measurements, internally triggers the instrument to take a
measurement, and reads the measurement. The default range (autorange) and resolution (10 PLC) are used for the
measurement.
MEAS:VOLT:DC?
Typical Response: +4.23450000E-03
The following example configures the instrument for 2-wire resistance measurements, triggers the instrument to take
a measurement, and reads the measurement. The 1 kΩ range is selected with 0.1 Ω resolution.
MEAS:RES? 1000,0.1
Typical Response: +3.27150000E+02
MEASure:CONTinuity?
Sets all measurement parameters and trigger parameters to their default values for continuity test and immediately
triggers a measurement. The results are sent directly to the instrument's output buffer.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) +1.32130000E-02
Configure the instrument for continuity measurements. Then make and read one measurement:
MEAS:CONT?
l The range and resolution are fixed at 1 kΩ for continuity tests (a 2-wire resistance measurement).
l The instrument beeps (if the beeper is enabled) for each measurement less than or equal to the continuity
threshold (≤10 Ω), and the actual resistance measurement appears on the display.
l From 10 Ω to 1.2 kΩ, the instrument displays the actual resistance measurement with no beep. Above 1.2 kΩ,
the instrument displays "OPEN" with no beep.
l The FETCh?, READ?, and MEASure:CONTinuity? queries return the measured resistance, regardless of its value.
